<div dir="ltr">That is an awesome looking contraption Mark. If it's something we can take apart after each person tries it then we can save a few dollars by re-using supplies for each person. Do you think it would be reliable enough where most people can build a working one?</div>

I'm planning on coming to the Open House on Friday (of course it could<br>
end up like last Friday where I get caught up in code and don't leave<br>
the couch) and I'll bring the sampler. I'll also try to get some<br>
pictures up.<br>
<br>
Radio Shack/Popular Mechanics had a draw bot project last year that<br>
was essentially broken computer fans with a battery and some markers<br>
rubber banded around the outside.<br>
